Hobbies and things destroyed by the rich

[Retro Doomer]

Comrades

what are some things in terms of hobbies and other stuff that was considered affordable or even outright for poor people until the rich Bourgeoisie discovered for themselves that we the proletariat had enjoyed but is now unaffordable or at the very least quite expensive now.(Try to read in heavy Russian accent for immersion)
Sorry I just had to do the act the setting was just to perfect for it.
Anyhow so what are jolly old things that where nice and affordable for us poor or at least not that well earning people until the Suits discovered increasing the prices to the high heavens so that we can't afford them anymore or any hobby or something that was outright destroyed by them ?.
Of course I have nothing against rich people per say but lets be honest when many rich people flock into a hobby or invest in something the prices are going to get up and that by a lot.
Also by rich that would obviously Include the big cooperation if you want to talk about that angle.
Its also not political but I had to make the Comrade pun the opportunity was just to good to miss.

Quais são algumas coisas, em termos de hobbies e outras atividades, que eram consideradas acessíveis ou até mesmo gratuitas para pessoas pobres, até que a burguesia rica descobriu por si mesma que nós, o proletariado, desfrutávamos delas, mas que agora são inacessíveis ou, no mínimo, muito caras? (Tente ler com um forte sotaque russo para uma imersão maior.)
Desculpe, eu simplesmente tive que fazer isso, o cenário estava perfeito demais.
Enfim, quais são aquelas coisas boas e antigas que eram agradáveis e acessíveis para nós, pobres ou pelo menos pessoas com renda relativamente baixa, até que os engravatados descobriram como aumentar os preços às alturas, de forma que não podemos mais comprá-las? Ou qualquer hobby ou coisa do tipo que foi completamente destruída por eles?
É claro que não tenho nada contra pessoas ricas em si, mas sejamos honestos, quando muitas pessoas ricas se dedicam a um hobby ou investem em algo, os preços vão subir, e muito.
Além disso, ao ser dito "rico", obviamente se incluiria a grande cooperação, se quisermos abordar esse ponto de vista.
Também não é algo político, mas eu tinha que fazer o trocadilho com "camarada", a oportunidade era boa demais para perder.

Old game

Old game

You mean like Retro Game collecting ?

 

[petran79]

video games.
from working class kids spending a dime in flipper, pool, darts, arcades etc in unsanitary environments and risky bets to spending thousands in consoles, computers and a safe environment

Você quer dizer algo como colecionar jogos retrô?

Yes The sellers put up a very old game with a very high price tag.

Oh truly the worst kind are the scalpers that buy them in mass and jack up the price and sell it at inflated prices.

 

[Lod 10]

Ah, os piores mesmo são os cambistas que compram em massa, aumentam o preço e vendem a preços exorbitantes.

I was planning to buy a Japanese PlayStation and a Dreamcast for my collection.

You know as well as I do that we live in a country that plays around with money a lot and I'm curious to see where all this will lead us.

I have to correct you as you certainly meant it plays around with our money comrade it would be fine if it played around with its own money but no we can't have that.

Humor is distracting from work so why should we invest in it.

Work is our humor

Board games and tabletop games come to mind.

Also, where I live anyway, camping. When I was a kid camp sites were usually free or very cheap. Now, most provincial park campsites are fairly expensive and you pretty much need to reserve months in advance. Other formerly free government managed campsites now charge money. Cheap reliable camping gear also doesn't really exist any more. It's either cheap garbage or expensive and probably still garbage. I guess that's the same with a lot of things these days though. I have some old camping gear from my parents and grandparents. They still make the same brand today. It's never been a high end brand but the quality of the old stuff vs the stuff you can buy today made by the same company is pretty unreal. The quality and materials of the old stuff is just so much better even after all this time.

The business of video games.
Once the grifters that move through the business world saw the profit they could make in video games they sank their teeth right in.

The whole damn world and human society is fucked thanks to the rich. Our downfall is human greed we will not survive till 2030 and if we do the planet will kill us all by 2050 because people think globa warming is fake.


So honestly rich people killing our hobbies is the last of our worries. Just enjoy life before end of humanity. If games to expensive just pirate the shit and give a middle finger to all collectors that want 500 bucks a damn snes game.

What makes you think we won't survive till 2030? Humanity endured all sorts of crap and it won't end now really....the population is growing not decreasing.

I made it clear that it was a pun and not seriously political and that I had to do this pun as it was just to suiting besides I did not say anything inherently political in my opinion so you don't have to look for beef man.

Historically, retro gaming was about getting to experience quality content at a discount price and keeping the kids entertained for a fraction of what a modern game would cost, effectively being what most families could afford to invest in without selling the farm -- the age of crazed collectors utterly destroyed that by forcing everything to go up in price.

How in the world is it fair that a guy driving a Jaguar earned by getting unreasonably (and falsely) mad at a videogame can effectively block a young gamer from experiencing the utter sorcery that it was the NES without putting down hundreds of $ for it? It's not only stupid, but it shatters valuable things like bonding with their parents over shared experiences and that? That's unforgivable. No wonder most kids are stuck on the mobile gaming ecosystem.

Remember the time when they sold old games extremely cheap as they wanted to get rid of them and how most of the older games where affordable besides some exceptions before rich collectors came into the hobby jacking up the prices as sellers noticed that there are people willing to pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars for a used retro game out there.

I remember getting Genesis games for pennies during the end of the videostore era... That's long-gone now.
